501 Huo Rui's Jealousy
"That's not a problem, right?" Chen Li asked casually.
"Indeed, that's not a problem." Huo Rui nodded in agreement with that. "However, the way you train will make people jealous of you; even I myself am jealous of you. Over the past years, I have always focused on my cultivation, swordsmanship, and alchemy. Unfortunately, I was always overwhelmed by them, and I even thought about giving up on alchemy."
"Their jealousy is none of my business, right? I never interfere in their personal matters, so they don't need to interfere in mine." Huo Rui frowned after hearing that, and Chen Li spoke to her again. "As for you, you are quite an experienced cultivator, so you should know your own limits. That's why you don't need to push yourself, and you might think about letting go of one of them."
Huo Rui let out a heavy sigh. "It's not that I don't like alchemy, but I feel that swordsmanship is more interesting. However, I can't stop practicing alchemy, especially since my mother always dreamed of becoming an expert alchemist, but she couldn't do it, so she wants me to be one."
"Your mother is too selfish." Chen Li commented while shaking his head, making the Huo Sisters a little angry. "You're not wrong if you want to please your mother, but it was her dream to become an alchemist, not yours. Moreover, it's useless if you do something you never enjoy, and you'll never be able to achieve the highest level in alchemy if you do it under duress."
Huo Qingya immediately spoke to her little sister. "I think his words are right, Rui. What if you talk to our mother? She will indeed be angry if you want to stop learning alchemy, but I can see that you are not enthusiastic about it, and you are always stressed about dividing your time."
"En." Huo Rui nodded to her. "I will listen to you, Big Sis. I will talk to our mother, but I'm not sure if she will be willing to listen to me."
"It's okay." Huo Qingya then embraced her shoulder. "At least, you can talk to her first, and I will also help you."
"En." Huo Rui simply nodded at her.
"Did you find what you were looking for, brother?"
They turned to Yang Chen, and Huo Rui frowned upon seeing him holding hands with Cai Yan, but she was also amazed by his change. 'So that girl is his new lover? She's pretty, but she's too weak, and I can defeat her in a move.'
Noticing her little sister's expression, Huo Qingya could only shake her head and inwardly mutter. 'This is really bad! Rui said that she had forgotten her feelings for Yang Hao, but her expression clearly showed that she was jealous of that girl.'
Zi Yao naturally noticed Huo Rui's reaction, and she massaged her forehead. 'What will happen between them? I know that Rui has always liked Hao'er, and she broke off their engagement because of him, especially since he was too lazy.' N0v3l--B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.
Cai Yue already knew that Huo Rui was Yang Hao's former fiancee, and she could see the jealousy in her eyes, so she moved to Chen Li's side. 'Li'er, this girl is jealous of Yan'er; I'm afraid that she will attack my daughter.'
'You don't need to worry about Huo Rui, and I will protect Yan'er.' Chen Li replied as he held Cai Yue's hand.
Huo Qingya was surprised to see them like that, especially since Cai Yue was clearly much older than them, but they were intimate, like a lover. 'Tch! This guy is a crocodile! I know that he is a dual cultivator, but he shouldn't have a relationship with such an old woman.'
Meanwhile, Yang Huo himself was shocked to see Huo Rui's presence, but he then smiled and hugged Cai Yan's waist, surprising her.
However, Cai Yan was not a stupid woman, and she instantly realized the reason Yang Huo was hugging her. 'Which of the two women is your ex-fiancee?'
Upon hearing that, Huo Qingya grabbed his hand, but she was shocked once Chen Li took her away through the void tunnel.
"Do you think Brother Chen is interested in Big Sis Qingya?" Yang Hao asked Cai Yan.
"I don't know." Cai Yan shook her head. "Even though Chen Li has many wives now, I know that he wouldn't just fall in love with a woman he just met."
Suddenly, Zi Yao stood up and took Cai Yan's hand. "Are you really willing to accept my son, Yan'er? Or are you saying that just to make Rui jealous?"
"Aunt Zi, I admit that I said that to make Huo Rui jealous." Cai Yan then turned to Yang Hao. "Even so, I am serious about my words, and I am willing to accept him."
"Really?" Yang Hao put on a look of disbelief.
"Yes." Cai Yan nodded to him with a smile. "Are you satisfied now?"
"Haha!" Yang Huo laughed out loud and grabbed Cai Yan's waist, and he then lifted her up high. "Hahah! I'm so satisfied! You're finally willing to accept me!"
"Hey, put me down!" Cai Yan said that with a bashful look, especially since Zi Yao and Cai Yue were around them.
However, Yang Hao didn't listen to her words and sat Cai Yan on his shoulders, and he immediately dashed towards the main building, causing her to sigh helplessly. "Let's go! I have to tell my grandfather this news!"
Their mother laughed at seeing them like that, and Zi Yao grabbed Cai Yue's hand. "It seems we will be in-laws soon, Sister Yue."
"Yes." Cai Yue nodded with a relieved smile, and Zi Yao pulled her to follow their children.

Huo Qingya was in shock as soon as they arrived at the hill where Long Lianxin lived, so she turned to Chen Li and looked at him seriously.
Chen Li just smiled and asked her. "What is your relationship with Long Lianxin, Miss Qingya?
